Pittsburgh Dental Sleep Medicine is unlike any other dental practice in the area since it focuses on sleep disordered breathing and nothing else. Dr. Rogers limits his practice to dental sleep medicine which treats a medical problem that has serious medical side effects if left untreated or is improperly managed.
The quality of your life and your health is being adversely affected by your snoring and sleep apnea. Now there is an effective way to control snoring and sleep apnea without resorting to cumbersome CPAP devices. A small device, similar to an orthodontic retainer, can be an effective alternative to CPAP machines and in most cases, serve as the first choice for treatment of mild to moderate sleep apnea.
The oral appliance is custom-made and fits easily in your mouth. The appliance is comfortable and most patients sleep easily the first night or two. It functions by comfortably repositioning the lower jaw forward during sleep to prevent the collapse of breathing passages. In this way, snoring is eliminated or reduced and sleep apnea is well-managed in most cases. Sleep is normalized and daytime sleepiness/fatigue diminish.
Unlike most offices that use a single appliance, Dr. Rogers uses several different oral appliances, choosing the one that is best for you. The choice of oral appliance is made after a through medical history and oral examination.
Oral appliances have been in use for over 20 years to effectively treat snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. Currently, over 100 different appliance designs are available to specially trained dentists for this use. Many scientific studies have been published that demonstrate the effectiveness of these appliances when utilized by trained and experienced sleep-disorders dentists.
Oral appliances are placed in the mouth much like an orthodontic retainer or an athletic mouth guard. They are utilized during sleep to prevent the collapse of the tongue and soft tissues in the back of the throat so that the airway stays open during sleep. The appliances promote adequate air intake thereby helping to provide normal sleep for those who suffer from snoring and/or obstructive sleep apnea. Oral appliances can be used alone or in combination with CPAP or after surgery. Determination of proper therapy can only be made by joint consultation between your sleep-disorders dentist and your sleep physician.
